4.0 out of 5 stars Confusing..., 22 Jul 2002
I havn't seen a better film in a long while..It really held my attention and did every thing a good movie should.. Suspenseful, confusin in parts so you have to work out whats goin on and well acted. I really enjoyed watching it and would reccomend it to people who prefer there films to be a little less contrived and transparent than most of the stuff that comes out of hollywood.

2.0 out of 5 stars Murder In Mind, 26 Sep 2005
By Rich Milligan (Thatcham, Berkshire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Woeful, inept, half-baked thriller that is both badly acted and guilty of trying to be far too clever for itself.

Caroline Walker (Mary Louise Parker) would seem to have it all, a rich, handsome successful husband and a massive mansion house to die for, but the police are called this house one night after a 911 call that Mrs Walker has made. Both her husband and their handyman have been brutally murdered, in her husband's case he has been neatly stabbed with a pair of garden shears. The investigative officer, Holloway (Jason Scott Lee) is convinced that the silent Mrs Parker is behind the double murder and arranges for her to see criminal psychologist Dr Ellis (Nigel Hawthorne). Dr Ellis begins a series of hypnosis in an attempt to make Mrs Parker remember what has happened.

What the film then shows is a series of flashback scenes showing the developing and unravelling relationship between Mr and Mrs Parker, the subsequent court trial of Mrs Parker, and then a most ridiculous finale showing the real motives of Dr Ellis.

Basically at the end of the day, both the plot and the actors simply aren't up to the job. As I say the plot is just far far convoluted for such a budgeted film and the over complication just makes it a real hash. The acting performances range from the competent (Jason Scott Lee) to the overacted (Jimmy Smits) to the just badly acted (Mary Louise Parker). Unfortunately Nigel Hawthorne doesn't come out of this mess much better. In a camp performance which is more ham than anything else he cavorts and prances through his scenes, complete with an bemusing accent which seem to drop into East European on and off at will.

There really isn't an redeeming factor to the film, at least at only 85 minutes or so it's soon over, which is a relief all round.
